[September 7 Analysis Report] Will USD/JPY continue to decline? Focus on EUR/USD around 1.1637
Attention to the EUR/USD around 1.1637
Hello, this is Leo.
This time,summary of FX market analysis as of September 7, 2026will be provided.
What I am particularly watching in the current market is,
these two things.
Looking at the recent momentum, from the previously continuing USD strength and yen depreciation trend,
it seems the balance of power is gradually changing.EUR/USD seems likely to test higher for now
First, EUR/USD.
In the short term,
I am watching for a potential near-term upside from the current level.
as the immediate high zone.
Since it has returned to test the immediate high, in the short term
the key is whether it can decisively break above around 1.1637
This will be a key point.
Breaking around 1.1637 would make the 4-hour chart interesting
What matters for EUR/USD is not simply that the short-term has risen.
If it clearly breaks above this recent high,
the upward direction may become clearer
will emerge.
If the rise in the short-term timeframes translates into the 4-hour chart momentum,
it will not be a case of “just a temporary uptick,”
but
potentially developing into another larger uptrend.
Dollar strength across the board should be watched higher
Aside from EUR/USD,
・GBP/USD
・AUD/USD
and other dollar crosses may show upside momentum in the near future.
Of course,
this does not mean buying every currency pair at the same time.
dollar crosses tend to rise
so it will be prudent to look for pullbacks and higher highs in each pair.
USD/JPY could lead to a significant downside
And another important point is USD/JPY.
Regarding this,
USD/JPY has decisively broken key recent lows.
This is very significant.
Until now,
the idea of “buy the dip on declines in USD/JPY” has worked in this market.
However,
once it breaks a key low,
may change
emerges.
Will this recent break of the low lead to a sizable daily downtrend?
What I am watching is not simply that USD/JPY went down.
What matters is that it broke a crucial low that had supported the rally
you see.
A trend is up as long as higher highs and higher lows are being formed.
Once that crucial low is broken,
potential
Therefore, currently,
I want to focus on selling USD/JPY on rebounds
as the priority.
Be mindful of a yen-buying trend
For USD/JPY,
in addition to technicals, I want to keep an eye on fundamentals as well.If Bank of Japan policy or rate expectations shift,
even further
there is a possibility.
Recently, cross-yen pairs have become harder to buy, which aligns with this trend.
This week also watch US indicators
This week, key US indicators will also be released.
In particular, indicators that could determine the dollar direction could, depending on the results,
may bring back dollar buying
may accelerate dollar selling
therefore,
instead of deciding direction solely on technicals, I will also closely monitor price action around the data releases.
My current outlook
Since it has broken important lows, I want to target further downside after a pullback.
First, watch for a breakout above around 1.1637–1.1640.
If the dollar weakens further, other dollar crosses are likely to rise.
Buy dollar crosses.
However, don’t chase; wait for pullbacks
Even when the direction is clear, you cannot enter anywhere.
After a sharp drop in USD/JPY, if you simply sell at the low, you may be caught in a strong pullback.
For EUR/USD, around 1.1637 is a recent high and may cause a pause.
wait for pullbacks to sell
EUR/USD
wait for a breakout above highs or a clear buying point
Deciding the direction and choosing the entry point are two separate things.
Currently,
I am focusing on a USD/JPY downside + dollar crosses upside trend.
In particular, USD/JPY has broken an important recent low, which could shift the prior pullback-buying market into
a larger downtrend.
For EUR/USD,the vicinity of 1.1637–1.1640is the near-term key level.
If this is clearly broken, the 4-hour chart buy momentum could strengthen, potentially driving up across dollar crosses.
